Surprise your kids with a FREE bag full of Halloween goodies, right on your doorstep! Macaroni KID Wheaton is helping you kick off the spooky season with fun, with a little help from some of our friends!
In the darkest days of the pandemic, a silver lining appeared where communities came together and got creative in bringing joy to each other and connecting us in unexpected ways. Macaroni Kid Wheaton is trying to keep that joy and excitement going into this next Halloween season with Boo Bags!
 |
It's simply a little Halloween treat that you leave on a neighbor’s doorstep to surprise them! A BOO Bag is a basket/bag/bucket filled with Halloween treats, toys and goodies. There are no rules on how big or small it has to be, just an act of kindness to bring a smile to someone's face.
But we're putting a twist on that! Each year, Macaroni Kid Wheaton puts together exclusive Wheaton Boo Bags. They will be hand delivered to 100+ Families in Wheaton and surrounding communities with the help of our amazing partners and Sponsors ! These high-quality fun themed reusable bags will also be great for trick or treating to hold all the candy you collect on Halloween! Each family that is Boo’d will receive a goodie bag filled with treats, crafts, freebies, coupons, candy, and more! Then, you can follow the instructions on the flyer and "Boo" 2 more families…think of all the spooky fun and kindness we can spread throughout Wheaton! Are you ready to start Boo’ing your friends and neighbors? Feel free to make copies of the flyer you are Boo'd with or print off a copy below!

The Official Wheaton Boo Bags are 100% FREE. Thats right, we will be delivering the bags to your house and you won't pay for anything. How is this possible? This is possible because of the amazing local Sponsors who help fund this project.
We will randomly choose 100 families from the sign-up list to receive a Boo Bag! |
After you've been BOO'd by us, you should "BOO" 1-2 more families of your choosing with a basket or bag filled with Halloween goodies and treats. Feel free to get some candy, homemade treats, homemade pictures, etc. just anything make your neighbors smile from the unexpected surprise on their doorstep! Make sure when you are BOOing you are quiet! It's supposed to be a mystery who is BOOing you!

1. You MUST be a Macaroni KID Wheaton subscriber – you can sign up for FREE here → SIGN UP HERE
3. You must enter your entire address – i.e.: 1234 Main Street, Wheaton, Illinois. We can’t deliver BOO baskets without a complete address.
4. You MUST live in Wheaton or within 2 miles of Wheaton city center (Glen Ellyn, Winfield, Glendale Heights)
5. We cannot BOO apartment or condo buildings. Our halloween elves need to be able to access your door from the street.
6. You must have the intention to BOO at least one (1) more family– that’s the whole fun of this!
7. There will be 1 Bag per House – not per child.
8. There are only 100 Spots available – we will leave the form open until deliveries begin and use a randomizer to choose 100 families to receive boo bags! You may be added to a waitlist, (sometimes people change their mind, there are duplicates, or addresses are undeliverable) but this does not guarantee a BOO bag
9. Deliveries will begin the first week of October, we will try to send an email when deliveries happen letting you know we are coming around BOO’ing, but that can change. Please inform spouses and family members!
10. If it is raining, we will not BOO that day. I don’t want to leave your baskets outside in the rain because the contents inside will be destroyed.
11. Macaroni KID Wheaton takes no responsibility for stolen bags or bags that may have had critters in them.
12. Please be sure your house number is visible from the street. We don’t want to deliver to the wrong house, but we are human, and mistakes can happen.
13. HAVE FUN and HAVE A HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! 🎃🎃🎃
